Sentences and punctuation would REALLY help us help you. I am not willing to attempt to make sense of that word salad.

Gas mileage isn't everythingOIIIIIIIOLack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

You changed the filter? You mean the media inside the filter because if so, you have lost the bacteria in the tank they are in.

I don't know what size tank you have planned for them but goldfish are cold water fish and bala sharks are warm water fish. Not only do they not belong together, they both get very large and need a large tank.

Bala Sharks also belong in schools. How about taking them back to the store, get your tank cycled and then stock it with fish suitable to the size of it?

I have 2 tanks right now the fish are in a 50 gallon and its cycled been running for years the bala, pleco and the goldfish have been together for about 5 years and there both huge I have another 90 gallon but its still cycling so I cant put the fish in it yet ive never had this problem and never had a problem with the 3 together the bala and goldfish are like best buddies I know it sounds weird but there always beside eachother the last couple days the goldfish seems something is wrong

Any reason you cannot move that filtration to the 90? [Still not big enough for the bala btw]

This will move your entire functioning BB colony to the larger tank.
